Our Values

Building Bridges Behavioral Solutions believes individuals with autism and other developmental or behavioral differences can achieve limitless potential when aided by the science of Mental Health Counseling. Though our treatment is always guided by the principles of MHC, Building Bridges understands that each individual and family is different and that their care should be as unique as they are. Our team approaches each treatment through individual assessment and goals are established by collaboration between our professional staff, the individual and the family.

As part of our individualized approach, we offer both comprehensive as well as focused treatment. Our center specializes in early intervention, verbal behavior, social skills, and functional living skills as well as teaching replacement skills for maladaptive behavior. We incorporate both structured and naturalized teaching strategies to develop these skills, focusing on which approach works best for you. Caregivers and other providers are involved in each step of treatment to ensure results are seen across environments.
